bow, whisked

[user_gary]

With a slip of the finger, she finished tying the elaborate bow in Flora's hair." Or even a secretive movement: "With a slip of the finger, he whisked the pearl necklace into his pocket."


What does `bow' mean in the above context? (bow has many meanings in dictionaries)

Also, I know whisked means (to take something/someone easily and quickly).

But I cannot understand the above text with this meaning. Could you explain me?
